College a cappella event this Saturday at the Hult

The University of Oregon’s award-winning a cappella group Divisi will once again host the quarterfinal competition for the International Championship of Collegiate a Cappella on Saturday at the Hult Center.

The concert begins at 7 p.m. in the Hult’s Silva Concert Hall, Seventh Avenue and Willamette Street. It will feature groups traveling from around Oregon to compete.

Each competing group has 12 minutes to impress judges, who will score them on intonation, musicality, choreography, vocal percussion and solo performance, according to a news release.

Divisi is not competing, but the ensemble will provide performances between sets.

Tickets are $10 for students and seniors and $15 for adults.
